Application filed July 17, 1329.* Serial No. 379,040. i

My present invention has reference to a` tray to be used in the posting of checks and` deposit slips or tickets t depositors accounts in banks, and in other businesses where items are posted to accounts in alphabeticallyarranged order. Y

My object is the provision of a posting tray which permits the checks and deposit tickets, (when used in the banking business) to be all sorted tcgether in alphabetical order, each individual deposit ticket being sorted Vjust beneath the'check thereby permitting the operator expediting his work and insures a greater accuracy than when the .checks and deposit tickets are sorted in dil'erent com`| partments.

A still further and important object is the provision of a posting tray divided into two compartments, one for checks and deposit slips or tickets not posted and the other for those posted and checks and deposit tickets receivedfrom the customers whose surnames begin with A being arranged at the top oi the stack of items and thosefwhose names begin with the letter Z at the bottom, while the deposit slip is arranged just beneath his check and is during the posting operation, arranged right-angularly with respect to the check, being supported upon a swingable bracket or platform so that Vboth the check and slip or ticket can be clearly observed by the operator and thus permitting the operator tc post a deposit slip or ticket immediately afterV posting the checks without glancing away vfrom his'work.

To the attainment of the foregoing the invention consists in the improvement hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

In the drawings: Y

Figure 1 is a top plan viewoi the improve ment.

Figure 2 is a front elevation thereof. n

Figure 3 is transverse sectional view therethrough. A

Figure 4 is a plan view of a deposit slip or ticket.

In carrying out my invention I make use ot a box-like structure l, centrally divided by longitudinal partition 2 into compartments 3 and 4. In the showing of the drawings the sides of the-tray have their upper ends open.

andhave secured to the ends ,above the said opening and' to the upper edges of the'sides 4 the straight ends ot arched wires 5. Y This permits of a i'ull flow of light being directed into the trays provided by the compartments 3 and 4. Obviously the sides of the tray may be centrally provided with an Vopening in which event the wire members 5 are dispensed with. On the inner face of each ot the sides 4 there is pivoted, as at 6, the angle end 7 oi a shelf or tray 8. Each of the shelves or trays when not in use may be swung into the 1 posted have their deposit slips bent and curved over the shelf or bracket as disclosed by Figures l and 3 of the drawings so that both the tickets or deposit slips and the faces ot the checks will be clearly visible tothe operator which' will permit of the posting oi the checks ina more expeditious and accurate manner than that usually' employed. `Each D.

of the Yshelves has its outer end centrally formed with a substantially V-shaped slot 9 whereby the ticket or deposit slips'may be drawn thereover.

It is believed the foregoing description will fully set torth the construction and advantages' et my improvement to those skilled in the art to which such invention relates so that further detailed description will not be f required.

Having described the invention, I claim A posting tray for the purpose set forth,

comprising a box-like member centrally din vided by a partition into spaced compartments for the reception of checks and deposit slips for said checks, the deposit slip of each check Y being arranged directly below said check, the outer sides of the compartments vbeing of a less height than'the tray, arched wire members secured to theends of the tray dan and tothe upper edges of the sides, and terminating away from the center of said sides,

a shelf having an angle end pivotally secured to each side, swingable against the bottom of each compartment and designed to have its flanged portion Contact with the inner face. of the outer side of the compartment and to rest and be supported on the outer edge of the said side when the saidk 10 tra-)fis` swung outward of the compartnieng each shelffhaving its outer edge notched and said shelves serving as supports for Y, the tickets and deposit slips when the same are arranged theleover and positioned angl-112113151 15 with respect to the checks.

In. testimony whereof I ahi-X my, signature.
